Following a week,Andrew could move his legs and walk as well. He'd been on bed rest for a week, which was unusual for him. He was also under the care of a physician, and he had many x-rays to check that he had recovered.He puts on a t-shirt and heads over to Henry's balcony where he was seated, enjoying the view. Andrew became concerned when he noticed Henry was sipping whiskey because Henry is known to struggle when he drinks. And he could tell he hadn't gotten back to Kimberly yet."Your majesty." He respectfully bowed"Take a seat," Henry ordered which he did instantly."You have just recovered and shouldn't be moving around much." Henry cautioned."I'm fine your highness. I appreciate your care towards my health." After a short silence, Andrew spoke."I don't deserve your forgiveness. You've done a lot of help for a rebel like me." "You haven't betrayed me. Not at all." Henry assured."I shouldn't have done that. I don't deserve to seat or serve you my Lord. I've committed a c
"Henry.. please Not my baby!." Regina screamed out from her sleep. A maiden was there to hold her back as she attempts to stand up immediately after she woke up."It's just a nightmare, your highness." The maiden assured.Regina breathed and sighed. She began to touch her tummy and rub it all over."My baby. He tried to hurt him." She cried."Who is he?." The maiden asked.Hearing that question, Regina somehow regained her senses and realized where she was in.She didn't dare to say anything, especially to an ordinary maiden."Nothing. " She quickly denies it."What happened?.""You fainted. The doctor is on his way to come to examine your health.." Just then, a knock was heard on the door and a man walked in with a bodyguard. The man was wearing a white lab coat which already Indicated that he was the doctor called to attend to Regina."Good evening. I am doctor Hillary." He introduced himself politely to Regina who snubbed his greetings."I don't need a doctor to check on me. I had
Andrew entered the room after receiving a phone call to report to Henry."Your highness.." He bowed politely as usual."What did you get?.""It has been confirmed by our source that Elvis is bringing Kimberly to the wedding. And they are heavily guarded." He announced.Henry doesn't reply."She also isn't pregnant. It was a false alarm after Elvis took her to conduct a test. It came out negative." Andrew explained in detail.After a while, they were all settled in the hall. Both the guests and the couples. Also, a priest to conduct the ceremony. It was a grande celebration between two socialite families. Despite the casualties surrounding the wedding, it was still determined to push through that day.Regina was dressed elegantly in her white wedding dress. Her baby bump was also visible and she wasn't ashamed even when she heard gossip that she was forcing Henry to get married to her because of a pregnancy that was termed as a mistake. Regina didn't care, all she wanted was to become
As the wedding ceremony continued, when it was time for Henry to recite his vows, Elvis turned to Kim and he could notice her trembling. "You do not want him to get married?." He asked and Kim ignored. She couldn't move her eyes from Henry as she watched him about to speak. The fact that he stared at her before starting his speech caused anxiety to flow inside her. Did he mean that he would marry Regina without any glitch?. Kim felt her eyes get heavy and was about to cry. "Where are you off to?.' Elvis asked, grabbing her arms."I'm going to the bathroom." She said sadly. Her voice was low and crackly as she spoke."The show is about to start and I can't let you miss it. Wait till the vows are over then we leave." He said and pulled her down on the seat. "Don't mess up." He threatened.Kim couldn't help but rub her palms together and Elvis could notice her nails digging deeply into her palms as she clenched them together."If you don't realize it, you are hurting yourself." He revea
Just when everyone expected the bomb to explode, they heard a mocking laughter and bubbles shoot out from the bomb. For a moment, everywhere became clouded with bubbles and they realized that they've been fooled by Leonard. After that, the doors were opened from outside by Andrew and some of Henry's men. Instantly, Henry rushed out with Kimberly inside the crowd and they couldn't be seen. Regina saw everything and realized that a prank was played on her on her wedding days. She couldn't also get over the sight of Henry and Kimberly kissing passionately at the altar. Everyone finally managed to exit the place."Where were you guys?." Elvis yelled at his men who just arrived after the whole incident with the bomb and Henry."We were attacked on our way here. The man with the sniper is also dead." Aaron informed."You're all a bunch of losers." He cursed out angrily and he rushed out of the building while they followed. The gloriously designed banquet hall became scattered and empty aft
It was the next morning when Kimberly woke up, her visions were still blurry so she touched Henry's part of the bed and realized that it was empty. When she could finally see clearly, the sun didn't relent in finding it's way directly to her eyes through the small opening in the luxurious silk curtains.Kim felt sour all over and could hardly speak. After so much moaning overnight, she wasn't sure if she would recover her voice soon. Kim tried to move from the bed in order to find Henry but as she tried, it became hard for her. The pains she felt was undescribably painful. Her legs felt really heavy and aches around her thighs.Kim almost regret allowing Henry rampange her body that much the previous night.Just as she laid back down in order to rest her body a bit, she saw the door push open. Revealing the most handsome man she had ever seen. Henry walked in holding a ceramic tray containing Kimberly's breakfast. Kim couldn't help but feel flustered with the fact that Henry made her
"The food I cooked for you tastes horrible." He confessed shamefully."You tasted the food?." "Don't try to act cunning with me. Why did you eat it when it tastes that awful?.""Because you made it." She blurted out instantly."It doesn't matter how it tastes, what really matters was the effort and time you put into making it, Henry." Kim said as she stood up from the bed to meet him."Careful." He cautioned.Kim walked slowly till she finally got to Henry who stood near the window and she wrapped her warm arms around his waist."I'm sorry for not telling you the truth." She apologized and kissed his naked back. "You should never lie to me, no matter what." Henry demanded as he turned face her. "I love you." He confessed, followed by a kiss on her forehead which she returned pleasantly and it furthered into a romantic action. Unexpectedly, Henry carried Kimberly up and she jerked. Noticing her cringe, Henry broke off the kiss and whispered to her."You can't escape me Kim. You'll h
Kim was now out of the bathtub and was busy drying her hair while facing the mirror, Henry had just left the room to go attend to Andrews calls. She continued with her hair while she was clouded by thoughts. Despite the fact that Henry brought her here to his vacation house and promised to be together with her, she still thinks that it doesn't guarantee anything since he was about to be married to Regina and their marriage alliance still holds. She couldn't help but wonder if the marriage would still push through despite everything. She also thought about how it would've been for her if Henry had successfully married Regina that day. She would've lost him forever if it wasn't Leonard's stunt.Kim felt warm kisses on her neck as she was about to turn from the mirror, Henry grabbed he tightly with his bold arms and pressed slowly.."Hnm.. what is my wife thinking about?." He asked."When did you get here?.""Just now, why? You didn't notice? What's wrong?." Henry surveyed her face for

Kimberly stared at the gigantic portraits of Henry and David which she didn't get tired of staring at. she moved closer to them and touched one of Henrys'"Henry, I miss you so much," she confessed, hoping to get a reply. She roamed her fingers on the portrait, touching his face and lips.She managed to get a picture of a full full-face file of Henry's from the internet. During her time with him, she was able to take several unaware shots of him and his side profiles. Henry didn't like pictures, even when the press managed to get pictures of him, he had them destroyed.Kimberly smiled as she was reminded of that.She put her forehead on that of Henry's picture and closed her eyes. Kimberly couldn't help the tears that fell from her eyes.suddenly, the door was barged open by a little boy. "Mummy." he rushed in quickly and hugged her. Kimberly shif
Kimberly spent three more days in prison, there was no disturbance from Francis or torture from the policemen. Anthonia, her new cellmate made sure to protect her from her previous cellmates. Kimberly thought of ways to contact Grandma Lee's lawyer. He was the only person she hoped for. If Grandma could trust him with her documents, he must be able to get her out of prison. In the evening when the prisoners were in line for breakfast, Kimberly didn't go to get her food. She felt sick from what she ate for lunch. Anthonia stayed back with her."Ahhh." She cried painfully."What's wrong with you? Are you okay?.""No I'm not okay, my stomach hurts." Kimberly cried."Here, drink water." Anthonia offered."No, that's not it. My stomach hurts so much."Kimberly felt a warm wet liquid run through her thighs and she touched it. She was bleeding."My baby. I'm losing my baby." She cried out. Anthonia freaked out and she began to bang hard on the grate gate."Someone, we need help in here." Sh
Kimberly hoped that she wouldn't regret her actions. She spent two days in solitary confinement and wasn't given food to eat or water to drink. Kimberly had almost died from hunger. On the third day, she was taken back to her normal cell and was given food. That evening, Francis came to visit and request the papers again. Kimberly still stood her ground and refused to give it to him.Francis showed her some pictures on hon tablet. "I'm sure you wouldn't want your brother dead?." He asked her. Kimberly was shocked to see her brother in such a situation, he was all tied up and a gun was pointed at his head. In the video, David struggles to speak as his mouth was gagged.She couldn't hear a thing he said."Please don't hard my brother. I'll do anything you ask of me." She pleaded."Where are the goddamn papers?""I swear, I know nothing about them. I don't have any papers with me." She confessed.Kimberly was taken back to her cell, mistreated,d and beaten by the guards. Kimberly held
After everything was over, Leonard appeared in Henry's grave later that day.He was dressed in black as per funeral rights and he stood near the grave. Didn't attend the burial earlier that day, so he decided to pay his respect at that time. He was a bit drunk when he got there.He leaned down on the grave, staring at the tombstone of his half-brother seemed unbelievable to him. Even though he wanted Henry dead, he wanted Henry to die in his hands. Leonard felt that he lost to Henry, seeing him die in a plane crash."You're a coward, Henry. You're always fond of running away and not facing me. " He said,"We should've fought a lot more times. I owe you so much. Remember?" He lamented."I still have to pay you back for getting me locked up by my father. I deserve it. I have to shoot you with the bullets from my new gun." He explained.That same evening, Kimberly arrived at the graveyard to pay her last respects to Henry. As she saw the man on the grave, she quickly recognized him as Leo
Kimberly woke up after a few hours. According to Grandma Lee who was sitting beside her bed, she had passed out earlier and was brought to the hospital by granny with the help of some servants. Kimberly tried to stand up from bed."Henry, I need to find Henry. Grandma." She cried. "I cannot live without him." "Kimberly, get a hold of yourself. You should live well, if not for anyone but for your baby." "Grandma, it's hard for me to move on. Henry promised never to leave me. I told him I wouldn't leave." Kimberly couldn't control her tears as she spoke.Later that day, she was discharged from the hospital. Granny found out that Kimberly had no pregnancy complications as Henry had thought. The doctor in Germany lied to him. Granny didn't tell Kimberly anything and decided to investigate the issue. She found out that someone had the doctor manipulate the results to send Henry away. Henry's death had been plotted before now.Granny swore to get to the route of everything and find out w
When Kimberly opened her eyes she realized that she wasn't tied or blindfolded as she expected since they were kidnapped earlier. She looked around and saw that she was in a familiar place which she instantly recognized as the Williams mansion.She felt a throbbing headache hit her as she tried to stand up, they used so much drugs for her that she woke up late at night. "Henry?" She called out, staring at the masculine figure standing near the window. Henry wore only pants and was shirtless. Kimberly twitched her face irritably at the choking smell in the air. It was the smell of Henry's tobacco, clouding the air in the room.He put out the smoke, realizing that Kimberly didn't like it and he went to her.Kimberly was still confused by everything that happened. She realized where they were but wasn't aware of what happened after they were kidnapped which was the last scene she remembered before passing out.Henry sat behind her on the bed and patted her hair backward slowly. "How did
Kimberly stared at him for a moment, admiring his sincerity as he swore not to lose her. She grinned teasingly for putting him in a frenzied state."You sound so serious like any one of us is going to leave," Kim said and she wrapped her hands around his waist tightly. "I love you, Henry." She muttered, burying her face in his chest. "I love you too," Henry replied."Now, we should be heading inside. I think we've had enough of the wind for the night." Henry said and he carried her in bridal style inside their house. Kimberly giggled all the way Inside. "It tickles." She spoke in an almost faded voice.At the airport, Kimberly bid goodbye to David. It was a bit emotional for both siblings to separate from each other again. Knowing fully well that it may take long before they see each other again. After boarding the plane, Kimberly didn't hold back her tears and they streaked down uncontrollably on her face.Henry pulled her for a hug. "We would see him soon, Kim. And you both won't hav
Kimberly was discharged after three days and was placed under bed rest. Henry knew that they couldn't make a journey back to their country yet till she recovers so he brought a house in Germany for them to stay comfortably. He wouldn't want her using an elevator or feeling bothered to climb stairs so he bought a well-furnished bungalow."I feel like our life is peaceful living this way, Henry. Without anyone bothering us." Kim spoke. She snuggled herself into his arms on the bed and he held her tightly."Kim." He called out. "Yes?" She answered instantly, sniffing in his cologne that she couldn't get enough of. Kimberly had always loved the scent of Henry, and it seemed that it increased ever since she realized her pregnancy. She couldn't tell if it was her normal self or the change of hormones that made her love his scent more. But one thing she could tell was that Henry scents so well."I love you." He whispered. "I love you so much." He repeated and kissed her forehead."And our bab
